How to Update Your Payment Method

Keeping your payment details up to date ensures uninterrupted service and successful renewals. You can easily add or update payment methods within your Eco Web Hosting client area. ๐Ÿ” Step 1: Log in to Your Client Area Go to https://my.ecowebhosting.co.uk and log in using your credentials. ๐Ÿ’ณ Step 2: Manage Saved Cards To manage or add new card details: 1. Go to Billing > Payment Methods 2. Click Add New Credit Card to securely add a new card 3. To make a card the default for future invoices, click Make Default โš ๏ธ Important: This sets the default card, but not necessarily your overall default payment method. See below to ensure all future invoices use the right method. ๐Ÿงญ Step 3: Set Your Default Payment Method To ensure all future invoices use a specific method (e.g. credit/debit card): 1. Go to My Profile in your client area 2. Find the Default Payment Method section 3. Choose your preferred option (e.g. Credit/Debit Card) 4. Click Save Changes โœ… This will ensure that new invoices are generated with that payment method and will automatically charge saved cards where applicable. ๐Ÿ’ก A Note on PayPal Subscriptions If youโ€™ve previously used PayPal, be aware: - PayPal subscriptions are fixed to a recurring amount - If pricing changes (due to upgrades, discounts, or renewals), the subscription wonโ€™t update automatically - This can cause mismatches and failed or unassigned payments For this reason, we strongly recommend using a credit/debit card, as it offers more flexibility and avoids these limitations. ๐Ÿ—‘ Removing a Card 1. Go to Billing > Payment Methods 2. Click the Delete icon next to any saved card Note: You can't delete a card that's linked to an unpaid invoice or active subscription.

Understanding Your Invoice Status

In your Eco Web Hosting client area, each invoice has a status that reflects its current stage in the billing process.

Go to Billing > My Invoices 3. Each invoice will display a status badge such as Paid, Unpaid, or Overdue ๐Ÿ” What Each Status Means โœ… Paid - The invoice has been paid successfully - No further action is needed โŒ Unpaid - The invoice is due and awaiting payment - Click into the invoice to pay online โณ Overdue - The due date has passed - Services linked to the invoice may be suspended if payment is not made - Late fees may apply depending on the service ๐ŸŸ  Payment Pending - A payment has been initiated but hasnโ€™t cleared yet - Most common with Direct Debit or some external payment processors (e.g. PayPal eCheques) - If the payment fails, the invoice will return to Unpaid, and a manual retry or alternate method may be required If a payment has been pending for more than 2โ€“3 working days, please contact support to check the status ๐Ÿšซ Cancelled - The invoice was voided โ€” typically because the associated service was cancelled or changed - No payment is expected ๐Ÿ” Refunded - The invoice was paid, but has since been refunded (either fully or partially) - The refund will return to the original payment method
